Which equation was used by Albert Einstein to explain the photoelectric effect? [ cap e is equal to energy, h is equal to Planck’s constant, and v is equal to frequency.]

Einstein explained that light transfers energy in packets, or photons, and the energy of each photon is Planck’s constant multiplied by the light’s frequency: E = hν. Therefore, the correct choice is “cap e is equal to h v.”
